All about c-sections: The National Center for Health Statistics estimates that nearly 1 in 3 babies in the United States are delivered by cesarean (c-section). Your healthcare provider may suggest one during your pregnancy when a vaginal birth isn't possible or safe for you or your baby. Some women may request to have a c-section instead of a vaginal birth, even without medical need. However, most c-sections are the result of complications that arise during labor, and healing from a c-section usually takes longer than vaginal delivery. This month you can find out what situations may cause your healthcare provider to suggest a c-section, if you're a candidate for vaginal deliveries after a previous cesarean delivery (VBACs), and even view step-by-step video and illustrations on what happens during the procedure. Don't forget to see our latest featured book reviews if you'd like to pick up a book to learn more about the procedure.
